BEHAVIORAL

Vaccine Ambassador

"Adults in participating geographic areas can sign up to be a vaccine ambassador on a website that the study team has built. The study team will send updates to vaccine ambassadors when new content has been posted to the website (e.g. a new video) and/or to remind the vaccine ambassadors to encourage their friends to get vaccinated. The study team will incentivize vaccine ambassadors by entering participating ambassadors into a lottery for a prize."
